Referrals: Earn 30% of What You Bring In

You earn 30% of what the people you refer pay — for as long as they keep paying. Not a one-off bounty on signup: a monthly share of every renewal, plus a share of every top-up they buy.

Everything lives in Admin panel → Subscription → Referrals.

Your agents are your referral link

You don't have to hand out a tracking URL. Anyone who lands on one of your agents' pages and signs up is yours — whichever agent they found. Attribution belongs to the account, so if you run ten agents, all ten bring people in. Your agents working in public are the referral channel: the signup wall visitors hit when they run out of free messages already carries your attribution.

The Referrals panel also gives you an explicit link — agenturo.app/?ref=yoursubdomain — with copy and share buttons for X, LinkedIn, and Reddit, for when you want to post it somewhere directly.

The link names your oldest agent, and it stays that way on purpose: a referral link outlives the page it was pasted on, so switching it to your newest agent would silently kill links already in the wild. It doesn't limit anything — the other agents attribute on their own page views regardless.

How attribution sticks: a visit to your subdomain, or a click on your ?ref= link, sets a cookie that lasts 90 days. Whenever that person signs up inside the window, the referral is stamped onto their account permanently. The 90 days is the capture window, not an expiry on your earnings: once stamped, you earn from that account for as long as it pays.

Two rules decide who gets the credit if a visitor sees more than one agent:

• Plain subdomain visits are first-touch. If someone already carries a referral cookie, browsing your agent doesn't overwrite it — and equally, once they're yours, wandering onto another agent's page doesn't take them away.
• An explicit ?ref= link overwrites. Signup-wall CTAs, the embed widget, and share permalinks all carry ?ref=, and that always wins. The wall that actually converted someone is the one that gets paid.

What you earn

They pay	You earn
PRO — $19/month	up to $5.70, every month they renew
MAX — $99/month	up to $29.70, every month they renew
Top-up — $20	up to $6.00, every time they buy one
Nothing (free tier)	$0

"Up to", because the 30% is calculated after sales tax. Where the buyer's country adds VAT or sales tax, your 30% is taken on the amount net of that tax, so the exact figure depends on where they are.

Free users earn you nothing. The share comes out of real payments, so someone who signs up through your agent and never upgrades doesn't pay you anything — but if they buy a top-up two years later while still on the free tier, that top-up pays you. The exclusion is on free tokens, not free people.

You can't refer yourself. Attribution to your own account is dropped at signup and re-checked again at the moment money moves.

The four stages

Every earning walks a ladder, and the panel shows your balance broken out by where it sits:

Stage	What it means
Accrued	The payment landed. Sitting in a 30-day hold.
Eligible	Cleared the hold and passed the checks below.
Approved	Reviewed by a human, queued to pay.
Paid	In your account.

Why the 30-day hold: payment providers can refund a charge at their discretion well after it clears. Releasing instantly would mean paying you out of money that can still be reversed.

Two checks run at release:

1. The person you referred actually used the product — at least 5 messages sent in their own account. This filters drive-by signups.
2. You have a live agent with a description — not suspended, not blank.

Refunds claw back. If a payment you earned on gets refunded or disputed, that earning is reversed. If it was already paid to you in tokens, the tokens come back out — and that one is allowed to push your token balance negative rather than the loss being absorbed.

Getting paid

Tokens (available now)

Convert your balance to tokens at 250,000 tokens per dollar — the same rate a top-up buys them at, so a dollar of earnings goes exactly as far as a dollar spent.

At that rate, one PRO referral's $5.70 month is about 1.4M tokens, and a MAX referral's $29.70 is about 7.4M.

Converted tokens sit behind your monthly allowance — your plan's budget is spent first, and the converted balance is only drawn once that runs out. So in a quiet month the balance doesn't move at all. They never expire.

Two things to know before you click:

• Conversion is a request, not an instant credit. Every payout is reviewed by a human right now. You'll see "Conversion requested" while it's in review, and the tokens land once it's approved.
• It's one-way. Converted earnings can't be turned back into cash, and converting gives up the USDC path below. The confirmation dialog says both, because there's no undo.

USDC (from $200)

Cash withdrawal in USDC unlocks once your unconverted balance reaches $200. It's deliberately a high bar — at roughly $5.70/month per PRO referral that's about 35 subscriber-months — because the token rail is the one meant for most people. Converting to tokens gives up this path for the converted amount.

Reading the funnel

Above the balance sits a four-step funnel for the last 30 days:

• Visitors → Reached the ask → Signed up → Paying

Three of those four are exact counts. "Reached the ask" is an estimate — the signup wall fires live during a conversation and leaves no record, so it's inferred from conversation length. It's there to show you roughly where drop-off happens, not to be audited.

The funnel is account-level, not per-agent: it covers every agent you run, because a referral is stamped on your account rather than on one subdomain.

If it's all zeros: nobody has come through yet. The two levers are sharing the link, and opening your agent to visitors in Settings — a closed agent has no wall, and the wall is what turns a stranger into a referral. See Outsider Access Tiers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be on a paid plan to earn? No. Free-tier accounts earn the same 30%.

What if someone visits my agent, leaves, and signs up a month later? Still yours, as long as it's inside the 90-day window. Browsing another agent afterwards doesn't take them away — only an explicit ?ref= link or signup wall belonging to someone else reassigns the credit.

Does the 30% ever step down? No. It's 30% for the lifetime of the account, on every payment they make.

Can I see who I referred? You see counts, not identities. The panel shows how many signed up and how many are paying.
